    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

I think I might have misplaced one of the springs that pushes the diaphragm in the carburetor back down. On account of I can't quite find it right now. Any particular site to order these from? Z1, cycle recycle, etcetera? I can't seem to find them, so if anyone has a recommendation or link that would be great
 
Note that they are not a "one size fits all" spring. :-k

If you can give the diameter and the free length, it would help a lot. :encouragement:

I may have offered too soon....get us some measurements and I can check. Most of mine are from the 850s.

They are pretty big, I don't see how they or it could have gotten far. It's not like losing a fuel or air mixture spring. Keep looking or hire a neighborhood kid to crawl around and look for it.;) Get the one the other kids call eagle eyes.
 
I'll spare you all a photo of my "workspace" I don't want to be held responsible for any strokes. you're right though it's probably around I'm just thinking ahead in case! :)
 
90mm long (3.5")
by 17mm diameter

still not found it. I thought it was a fuel line spring and ignored it, could be anywhere now
